84-08 129th Street, Queens, NY 11415

The two-family house at 84-08 129th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Sumaiya Alam, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1915. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating systems. In March 2018, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded for inadequate heating supply in the second-story apartment, specifically citing problems with the central heating system or approved gas/electrical heating system.

This heating-related issue appears to be part of a more extensive problem, as evidenced by an Environmental Control Board violation from January 2018, which remains active with a $500 penalty. This violation details multiple deficiencies in a Weil Mclain hot water system, including non-functioning components, missing safety equipment, inadequate ventilation, and other installation issues. The property has also been subject to two Department of Buildings complaints in 2019 regarding allegedly illegal modifications to a curb cut/driveway/carport and an unpermitted construction project.

However, both complaints were investigated and found to have no violations warranting further action. While these past and present violation records suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, it's worth noting that the more recent complaints (from 2019) were resolved without any identified violations. The building's age (110 years old as of 2025) and two-family classification are typical for the Richmond Hill neighborhood, though the cited violations indicate some areas requiring attention from a maintenance perspective.
